Front drive submarine

ABSTRACT

The present invention is a semicircular, sharp bow submarine with a revolving front drive propulsion unit used to create a vortex to accelerate the invention, and to emit compressed air and insulating bubble-creating substances to reduce friction and prevent sonar detection. The invention has a double, steering-propelling system consisting of the rotating fin-superstructure carrying two jet engines adjustable at variable angles, and four water tanks—jet propulsion devices in the bottom, the middle section of which slides downward to launch underwater vehicles, submersible aircrafts and torpedoes and retracts after retrieving underwater vehicles and submersible aircrafts. This invention is a new means in underwater travel.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0004] I claim: The utility invention in Class 114 of a front drive submarine as shown in the drawings (FIGS. 1, 2). Field of the endeavor is the advanced and improved structural and propulsion characteristics, the method and arrangements of the underwater travel.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0005] Object of the invention is to provide a new means for underwater travel with improved capabilities and arrangements. These new means is the invented front drive submarine, with new arrangements shown in the drawings (FIGS. 1 and 2). This article is original in its utility and solves the problems in underwater travel. The present invention, a front drive submarine, provides the following innovations, improvements and advantages:

[0006] It has a structure with advanced features. (FIGS. 1, 2)

[0007] It has a sharp bow with a protruding, revolving propulsion unit. (FIGS. 1, 2)

[0008] It has a tail and a nozzle in the rear. (FIGS. 1, 2)

[0009] It has a rotating fin-superstructure, having a jet engine on each side, one of them is shown on it in FIG. 1.

[0010] Said fin-superstructure and two jet engines are used respectively for steering and propulsion.

[0011] Inventions integrates in its bottom four ballast water tanks—jet propulsion devices (FIG. 2)., which frame a downward sliding and retractable middle bottom.

[0012]FIG. 1 is the right side view of the invented submarine, showing its semicircular structure with protruding front propulsion unit, fin-superstructure with a jet engine (a mirror image of the left side with another jet engine), and the tail—all solid surfaces, showing my invention.

[0013]FIG. 2 is the bottom side view of the invention showing a sharp bow with protruding front propulsion unit, four water tanks—jet propulsion devices, a retractable bottom in between, and a nozzle in the rear, which is a part of the propulsion system.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0014] Generally, a submarine is not a front drive semicircular structure having a sharp bow with a protruding, revolving front propulsion unit. It has no rotating fin-superstructure carrying jet engines adjustable at any angle up to 360 degrees, does not integrate jet engines within water tanks to propel the submarine using this ballast (continuous water circulation), does not create a vortex in front of itself to accelerate, does not travel in a self-created air-chemical bubble, cannot move three times faster than other submarines and cannot outmaneuver other submarines and attacking torpedoes.

[0015] The invented front drive submarine (FIGS. 1, 2) can do it. This improved capacity is due to its semicircular structure comprised of a sharp bow with a protruding, revolving front drive propulsion unit, a rotating fin-superstructure carrying two jet engines, and four water ballast tanks—jet propulsion devises framing a retractable middle section of the bottom, with a nozzle in the rear.

[0016] Another improvement is that the fin-superstructure has a round base it rotates upon to maneuver the invention right and left or turn it at sharp angles. Rotated into a horizontal position perpendicular to propulsion direction, this fin-superstructure is used to decelerate the invention or stop it in emergency.

[0017] Additional improvement is that the revolving front drive propulsion unit is used to emit compressed air to create a vortex in front of the moving invention to accelerate it.

[0018] The ultimate improvement is that the revolving front drive propulsion unit is used to emit a mixture of compressed air and chemicals to create an air-chemical bubble around the invention, enabling it to move within this bubble. This insulation reduces friction and prevents sonar detection. 

What I claim as my invention is:
 1. A front drive submarine (FIG. 1)
 2. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine is a semicircular structure. (FIG. 1)
 3. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a sharp bow. (FIGS. 1-2)
 4. A submarine according to claim 1 and 3, wherein said submarine has a protruding, revolving front propulsion unit located in the bow. (FIGS. 1-2)
 5. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a nozzle in the rear. (FIG. 2)
 6. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has a steering-propelling system comprising a rotating fin-superstructure carrying two jet engines adjustable at variable angles, one of them is shown on it in FIG.
 1. 7. A submarine according to claim 6, wherein said rotating, variable angle steering-propelling system is used to make fast turns by rotating the fin-superstructure sideways, enables the invention to move backwards by turning the jet engines on the fin-superstructure at 360 degrees to direct the thrust in the opposite direction, enables the invention to dive and surface by pointing the jet engines in respective directions, decelerates the invention and stops it in an emergency by turning the fin-superstructure horizontally, i.e. perpendicular to the direction of invention's movement.
 8. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has four water ballast tanks—propulsion devices in its bottom (FIG. 2), with integrated jet engines (not visible here).
 9. A submarine according to claim 4 and 8, wherein said protruding, revolving front propulsion unit takes-in water and passes it to ballast tanks where jet engines provide for thrust based on continuous water circulation.
 10. A submarine according to claim 4, wherein said protruding, revolving front propulsion unit is used to emit compressed air to create a vortex in front of the moving invention in order to accelerate it.
 11. A submarine according to claim 4, wherein said front propulsion unit is used to emit a mixture of compressed air and chemicals to create the air-chemical bubble around the invention to move within this bubble. This insulation reduces friction and prevents sonar detection.
 12. A submarine according to claim 1, wherein said submarine has in its bottom an adjustable middle section located between the water tanks, whereby said middle section slides downward to launch underwater vehicles, submersible aircrafts or torpedoes, and retracts after retrieving underwater vehicles and submersible aircrafts.
